Santa Paula police Wednesday released the names of two officers involved in a fatal shooting last month.

Reserve officer Chad Peplinski and officer Hector Ramirez were cleared to return to duty last week after exchanging gunfire with Edgar Garcia, 25, of Santa Paula, on July 28, police said.

Police responded to a family disturbance in the 1100 block of New Street twice that night, police said.

While Garcia had left the area after the first call, police responding to the second call saw him run inside the garage and into the home, officials said.

Police said that as the officers approached the garage, Garcia appeared from inside the house and fired at the officers, striking Peplinski, a four-year reserve veteran.

Garcia then ran in the house and to the backyard, where he confronted Ramirez, a 12-year veteran with the department, police said. Garcia brandished a handgun at Ramirez, who fired at him, police said.

Garcia was pronounced dead at the scene.

The Ventura County Sheriff's Office Major Crimes Unit and the Professional Standards Bureau were called in to assist Santa Paula police in the investigation, which is ongoing.
